Off Lookout! Records?

operationivy.com reported that the band met in February of 2006, and that their Lookout! releases are, as of April 2006, showing up as unavailable on the LookoutRecords site. Given the fairly recent Green Day fiasco, resulting in Green Day pulling their previous albums due to alleged nonpayments of royalties, it seems fairly likely Operation Ivy has now done the same. Presumably, we will shortly see a re-release of at least the primary Op Ivy album on a new label. (None of this has been confirmed by the band or the label, so this is more of a heads-up than a suggestion for changes to the main page.) Davebug 05:38, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Operation Ivy is not an Oi! band

what the hell. Burndownthedisco ^talk 18:36, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Hedgecore

no, hedgecore should probably no be merged with the article on Operation Ivy. Actually Hedgecore should be merged with an article about the "new sports" or new activities which musicians and artist often engage in. Actually there was a full story about this phenomenon in Thursday's (06/22/06) Chicago Tribue spotlighting a group of people who are playing urban golf, the chiditarod cart race, and urban capture the flag. (Xsxex 14:22, 23 June 2006 (UTC))

Well, how about we merge it but keep the article the way it is seperately and put see Hedgecore article. (Spliff200 12:39, 26 June 2006

Genre

Ska-punk and Ska-core both point to the same page. (This edit was me) -Aioth 14:52, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Image

Unless I'm mistaken, the image in the infobox is not actually the cover of the Energy LP, but the cover of the self-titled anthology album that was released in 1991. The cover for the Energy LP can be seen here, though I'm not sure how to go about securing its use for Wikipedia. Tdogg241 20:05, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Merge with '69 Newport

Under WP:MUSIC albums with little more than a track listing should be merged with the parent group. JASpencer (talk) 16:38, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:BadTown.ogg

Image:BadTown.ogg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Discography

The discography is missing the "Plea for Peace" 7", none of which was on the Energy re-release. I would edit it, but my 7" is boxed up and I don't really even know where it is now. I'll look around the net a bit. Dlmccaslin 01:31, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I found a listing on the Net and listed it in the Disco., and I made a page for it. I'm still pretty new to this, so if anyone wants to take a look and leave a message on my talk page, I'd really appreciate it. Dlmccaslin 01:55, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey, I found a copy of "Technical Difficulties" a set of live recordings done at the Gilmore at a local used CD shop, I cannot seem to find any mention of it on the internet. It was pressed by Peacock Records. --Nanajoth 08:28, 16 June 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nanajoth (talk • contribs)

Jesse in Nicaragua

That's not apocryphal; he did spend time there.

Cite a source please, and add it. I had read somewhere that he actually became a longtime employee for the record label as an artist. I mostly find this unlikely because record labels contract this out. Tempshill (talk) 05:20, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Misprint

Under philosphy, it says "...a subculture is more important than any particular band". In the album, "than" is actually spelled incorrectly as "then". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.217.176.2 (talk) 05:21, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Isocracy?

Why were Isocracy added to associated acts? no members from Isocracy were in Operation Ivy, so i removed it. --Chickenguy13 (talk) 10:19, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Sound clip

I like the fact that there is a sound clip available, but "Bad Town" isn't the best example. Tim sings lead vocals on this track, whereas Jesse normally provides the lead vocals. It's also the only Op Ivy track with a saxophone. I'd suggest "Sound System" or "Here We Go Again" as better examples.

-- JH 02/21/05

I agree.How do you do it?

-- Spliff200 --

Yes, "Bad Town" is not the best example for Operation Ivy. And I agree that "Sound System" and "Here We Go Again" are some better examples. Other good examples would be "Knowledge", "Unity", maybe "Jaded". So I think that either of those five would be good. :) --Blaguymonkey (talk) 08:37, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
